Description

CD278, also known as ICOS (inducible co-stimulator), is a single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the CD28/CTLA4 (cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4, or CD152) family of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily.  Like other family members, CD28, CTLA4 and PD-1, CD278/ICOS contains one Ig-like V-type domain in the extracellular region and shares 39% amino acid similarity with CD28 and CTLA­4. ICOS is expressed on most CD45RO+ cells and is up­regulated after the activation on Th primed cells. B7­H2, a member of the B7 family of co-stimulatory ligands, has been identified as the ICOS ligand (ICOSL). Optimal T cell activation and expansion are regulated by signals delivered not only through the T cell receptor (TCR), but also a number of co-stimulatory molecules, including ICOS and ICOSL. ICOS is expressed on antigen-primed T cells, and ICOSL is expressed mainly on B cells and macrophages. The interaction of B7-H2/ICOS plays critical roles in T cell dependent B cell activation and in Th cell differentiation. These T−B cell interactions are essential for germinal center formation, and humoral immune responses, and as well as the production of cytokine IL-4. In addition, ICOS also regulates TH2-mediated mucosal inflammatory responses, and aberrant expression of ICOS has been implicated in allergic inflammatory responses and other immune disorders.
